UX: Add/Remove Favorites by clicking the star

UX: Add/Remove Favorites by clicking the star

Now your favorite queries/reports/charts/dashboards are identifiable with the yellow star icon in front of it. Users typically click on the star as a first try to add favorites. This would indeed be more user friendly than the current approach that takes several mouse clicks. It would also be in line with most web browsers, where favorites/bookmarks are a common thing.

 

It should be possible in the Manage Queries tab, but also in the query drop down menu and the run report menu.

 

It's also weird that after a first install, the query drop down has the 'my favorites' filter enabled, while new users obviously can't have any favorites just yet. New users are still finding their way and this filter already prevents them from running a basic query.

I see that there are two ideas presented above

1. The ability to click on the star and mark a query/report as a favorite is already present in the current version (as of 11.0)

2. For queries, not to enable "my favorites" by default. While a new user would be seeing the "Quick Query" by default under his favorites, I agree that it doesn't bring much value. We will evaluate changing this in web browser in upcoming releases.

Thanks Donny. That is promising.

Does this "click the star" feature also work in the thick client? Most of our users are using the client because we work with documents most of the time.

Hi Adriaan,

There is no plan to enable "click the star" feature in the thick client.

There is no investment planned for the old web UI. However, when you start evaluating the Refreshed Web UI and the experience around it, please do provide your feedback.

 

Thanks
